The Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson
possesses a keen faculty for adapt-,
ing himself to ohanged conditions.
He now refers to Democrats as
"Bryan men."
Mr. Altgeld has pronounced Mr
Bryan the greatest man in the civ
ilized world; and Mr. Bryan has all
along oontended that Mr. Altgeld
is one of the best judges of great
ness extant.
Perhaps that old Populist soldier
in Kansas City of which the Jour
nal of that plaoe tells, was right, if
a bit rude, when he said:
"I can't vote tor a tiolcet which
at one end has a man who resignod
bis position in the Spanish war
whon he had a chance to fight, and
at the other a oopperhead who, in
the oivil war, wouldn't fight on
either eider I am for the ticket
that has a hero of the civil war at
one end and a hero of the Spanish
war at tne other."
Pound a Baby on His Deorstep.
The "Full Dinner Pail" is an
argument for the farmer as well aa
for the olty laborer. Who supplies
what is put in the pail? The
farmer. If the oity laborer has his
wages cut in two by free silver, and
is put out of a job by the dosing of
the mills, the farmer suffers equally;
for the farmer may give away, but
he cannot sell, the produots of his
farm whioh the oity laborer oannot
afford to buy. It is because of the
"full dinner pail" that the fawner
is getting so muoh better prices for
what he sells than he could get be
fore the eleotion of McKinley. It
is because of the "full dinner pail"
that he has paid ff his mortgagee,
and become a lender of money
where he used to be a borrower.
Those who vote for Bryan vote to
abandon a condition more prosper
ous than any ever before enjoyed by
any nation, for the purpose of try
ing a financial experiment con
demned by all nations.
Jerry Simpson predicts that the
nomination of Mr, Stevenson "will
give Kansas to the Republicans. It
looks as if Adlai was nominated
oraer to nave a good natured per
Don upon whom to blame the an'
pleasant happenings.
In one year (1894) of Democratic
Tote, the wage earners of the United
States depleted their savings de
posits by more than $37,000,000.
Since McKinley has' been president
they have earned enough to save
and invest a surplus in savings
ranks deposits alone of more than
482,000,000.
Democrats may charge the re'
aponsibility of cyclones, pestilence
and the war in China to the Repub
lican administration, but they
haven't accused it of having been
directly responsible for the raise in
the price of Rogue river valley sheep
from $1.25 to $3 per head. That is
calamity (?) they had entirely
forgotten.
The school teachers of Cuba had
a glorious trip to this country in
the government transport. After
going back to Cnba they will be
able to work with broadened ideas
and freshened zeal for the welfare
of the growing generation of Cuba,
This incident is part and parcel of
Republican "Imperialism." It is
surprising that, as such, it is meet
ing with no denunciation from the
oracles of the Democratic party.
The first ship subsidy act ever
passed in the United States was
Democratic measure. It became a
law fifty-five years ago, and under
it some of the finest ships of their
day in all the world, built in Amer
ican shipyards, were paid several
millions of dollars from the national
treasury under antebellum Demo
cratic administrations. Ship sub
sidies being favored by Republicans
now, are, of course, opposed by
latter-day Democrats.
This is how the New York Journal
of Commerce predicts results if
Bryan is elected: "There is not a
man of business in the east and
soarcely one in the west and south,
who does not know that Mr. Bry-
Here is an argument a Cali
fornia Democratic-Populist paper
prints as a Bhining light against
the prosperity which the Republi
can press is claiming for the pres
ent administration:
"The town of Somerville, Lincoln
County, Maine, is for sale to the
highest bidder, and it is not ex
pected that anyone will bid very
high for the place. Somerville is
hopelessly bankrupt and has been
so for a long time. It was formerly
known as Patricktown plantation,
and is 30 miles north of the ancient
town of Wiscasset. Forty vears
ago there were about COO inhabit
ants in the place, and now there
are but 450, while the valuation
has fallen from $16,000 in 1880 to
about $8000 at present.
No particular cause is assigned
for the sorry plight in which Som
erville finds itself at the century's
end. It seems to have just dried
up, and it is the best example
Known of tne decayed rural town
of New England the place of de
serted mills, tumble-down houses
and abandoned farms. The indue
tries never amounted to much, con
sisting of some little, old-fashioned
sawmills, and, although the soil is
as good as in the prosperous towns
all around, farming in Somerville
seems to have been a failure in
this generation. Now the town
with its nominal valuation of $8000
has a debt of $30,000, which it can
not pay, anu tne cniet wonder is
how such a debt waB ever contracted.
No one in Somerville has paid
any taxes for ever so long, and the
assessors do not know how to get
what is due to the town, to the
county and to the state."
What do you think of it? Don't
you, even you Democrats and Pop'
ulista, think your "sleddin' " is thin,
decidedly so, when arguments such
as are printed above are produced
as evidence against Republican
prosperity? But in the absence of
better ones almost any old thing
will go.

Jeweler B. N, Butler, of this olty,
was presented with a llttlo, weo girl
baby Sunday night, the same having
been plaoed on his doorstep, but tho
angels did not leavo It there in tho
manner which children are olttlmus
told theso llttlo presents aro made.
About half past ten Sunday evontng,
after Mr. Butler and his good wife had
rotlred, footsteps wero heard lightly
troadlng his walk and Immediately
after a gentle rap wae hoard ou tho
door; than followed tho sound of soft,
but rapidly retreating footsteps. Mr.
Butler arose and mado Inquiry as to
the alarm at that unsoomly hour, and
gottlng no response to his inquiry the
door was opened, but no person was in
sight. He pushed the soroen door open
and agaiust a neatly and closely wrapped
parcel, and as the door struok tho
bundle a gurgling sound was heard
Ho oalled to Mrs. Butler and tho two
investigated and disclosed tho tiny
faee of a sloeping baby. Thoy decided
to not move tho infant until an officer
bad been notified, and tholr son, J. H
uutier, wne lives next door, was
awakened and dispatched tor Marshal
Murray, Mr. and Mrs. B. keeping oloso
watch over tho baby, that no harm
should ootne to lU Upon tho arrival
of the marshal the infant was taken in
the bouse and given over to Mrs. But'
ler to oare for while the marshal could
find someone who would nurse It until
suob other arrangements as wero nooos-
sary could be made. He very soon re.
turned and took tho ohlld to its tempo
rary roster mother.
Monday moruing the baby was placed
with Mrs. Flomming, tho lady who
koops a restaurant, on North C street,
where It still remains.
The baby was from four to six weeks
old. female, plainly, but neatly dressod,
very bright and healthy looking.
In anothor package, found at tho
samo time, there wero a number of
articles of wearing apparel together
with two small bottles, partially filled
wltb Castoria and paregoric, and a
note of which the following Is a copy:
"This dear little ohlld is loft hare
because its parents are unablo to take
care of her. Their only prayer is that
you win oe good to tier and that she
may bo brought up a Christian. Her
pnronts wore married on Aug. 23, 1S90.
Thoy hereby give up all olaiin to her.
TWO BUOKKN-UKARTKD PARENTS."
The above note was ery plainly and
legibly written, and evidently by a
masculine hand. The writing was good,
fifty per cent better than tho average
person writes and tho only mistake in
spelling was tho word "tlioir" which
was written "there." The punctuation
and capitalization was correct, proving
lha the writer, while ho, or she, may
have been poor, was a fairly good
scholar. The name of "Cramer," a
Grants Pass druggist, was blown in tho
glass of one of the bottles, which is
possibly evidence that tho child's par
ents do not live in Medford.
Shoe prints of a roan, walking on
tiptoes, were found where they crossed
the street In front of Mr. Butlor's' resi
dence. There they wore joined by the
tracks of another man and the two
were traced to Frank Amann's place
where tho footprints of a woman's
shoes wore added and tho three were
traced as far east as the Davis flouring
mill whore tbey were lost.
Marshal Murray Is hunting for clues
as to the parentage of the ohild but as
yet none have been found.
Mrs. Butler was formerly "presldont
of an aid socioty in Medford and was in
charge of the department of the society's
work which looks after orphans and
needy ehildren, which fact undoubtedly
accounts for the baby having been loft
at air. ou tiers residence.
Additional Local Items.
Henry Pohliuun's team, while
standing at tho depot Tuesday, boenmo
frightened and mado a lively run for u
couple of blocks down D street, lauding
